She started a family and enjoyed all the benefits corporate life could offer. Life was good until it wasn't. A tough time steered Tanya to seek support where she was confronted by her greatest fear - dying before giving her creativity and endless ideas a chance. Books, art projects, and business ideas were collecting dust in the back of her head. No one else was going to do them for her! So, with the support of her family, she went all-in on herself and began a new creative chapter as a Children's Author \/ Entrepreneur. Tanya's background in design and marketing, and a love of a great story helped kick off her new career path. She wrote her first two children's books in 2024. \"I'm NOT Pooping\" - a potty book to help kids who don't want to poop. She wrote this book to support families struggling with withholding issues in hopes they can get through this phase faster than her family did. \"12 Days of Getting Ready for Christmas\" - is a personal story that captures the rollercoaster of preparing to host during the holidays. Tanya's family loves to party! They host several holiday events a year. And when they're not hosting, they're planning the next one. Tanya writes about the challenges and triumphs of life as a family of four in Canadian suburbs. She simplifies complex ideas and brings them to life with characters children can relate to. When she's not writing, Tanya enjoys exploring nature with her kids, traveling, and planning the next event. She values helping people, and the planet, and having a great party! Because life's more fun when you celebrate it.\"","brand":"Newtown Station Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50871783457042,"sku":"9781069140340","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_eefb6a82-5b5c-43cc-ba93-90adfd76f126.jpg?v=1761736345","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/12-days-of-getting-ready-for-christmas-9781069140340","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
